Can anyone tell me how to start a Unix shell while in Pine?

Thanks for any advice.

Arsenio:

Check in your Pine Configuration (from Main Menu, type "S", "C") to see if
the "enable-suspend" option is set.  This will allow you to exit Pine
momentarily and work in the shell while Pine works in the background. 

When you've finished you shell jobs, just type "fg" to bring Pine back to
the "foreground".  Don't forget this last step else you'll have a maillock
to deal with next time you start Pine.

Hope this helps!

	pine is alread in a shell.  So, ctrl-z to suspend pine and
get back to the shell.

Go to Main menu, then Setup, then Config, find the line reading 
'enable-suspend' and hit the ENTER key.  You should have an X in the box 
after that.  Now, whenever you want to shell out to Unix, do a Ctrl-Z key 
combination.  To return to pine, type fg at the prompt.

Press ctrl-z to go to the shell, and fg to return to pine. I think there's
an option under setup to enable this...

^Z, but you have to have enable-suspend enabled in the config (if you're
using Pine 3.91 or better)
